WA Transformers Sightings.

[ThornOfUnicron]

Big W Warnbro: At least 6 Legacy Armada Primes, most of the ROTB releases including deluxe Airazor, Cheetor and Bumblebee, I did not see the Buzzworthy 3 pack however I had seen it recently at Big W Kwinana. Most of the Cyberverse line(think that's the name), a few of SS86 Sludge, SS ROTB Scourge aswell. That's off the top of my head.

Myer CBD - 25% off TFs (and Marvel, Jurassic, Star Wars, Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Beyblade, Nerf) until 9/7/23. All the usual ROTB too but I didn't pay much attention. No Legacy Evo.




JB Forrest Chase - also has the retro TF tees (red, black, white) in various sizes. First Responder Day people get additional 15% off. Legacy Laser Prime and SS89 Thundercracker are there too but out of picture.














Kmart CBD - ROTB and Earthspark have pushed out Legacy and SS (like all the Kmarts I've seen in Perth).

There are an absurd amount of Transformers at Midland JB Hifi (Clayton St, not Midland Gate).

I was in there briefly yesterday and saw the following

Studio Series: BB Ironhide (the deluxe cybertronian one), The Fallen, ROTB Scourge, Gamer Optimus Prime, Gamer Barricade, Galvatron, TFTM86 Arcee, ROTB Arcee, ROTB Cheetor, ROTB Airrazor, Colt, Crosshairs, the Wreck Gar repaint.

Legacy: Dragon Megatron, Motormaster, Laser OP, Blitzwing, most of deluxes and voyagers from waves 4 of legacy and 1 of Evolution (no Tarn though).

Masterpiece: Blackout

GI Joe: Bumblebee.

JB Hifi Forrest Chase (the one up near Myer, not in ENEX 100) wave 6 of Legacy Evo Voyagers (Nemesis Lion Prime, Dirge), Wave 5 of Leader (Armada Megatron) and up to Wave 5 (Animated Prowl Wave) of Deluxe. They've also got the Buzzworth Reissue of Studio Series Grimlock.

I grabbed the last Leader Megatron but there was at least 3x of everything else.

[SharkyMcShark]

Loads of the Buzzworthy Studio Series Girmlock re-issue at Midland Gate JB Hifi. At least 8.

They seem to have otherwise been cleaned out of most of specifically the newest wave of stuff (Armada Leader Megatron wave). They've got a few Nemesis Leo Primes left, but none of the rest of that wave.

Heaps of back waves though.

I was surprised at how quickly the Scarr toys disappeared at JB, so people must be trying to complete the combiner, as that isn't a classic Dinobot character. I had to resort to buying from Amazon Australia.
I really think it will be hard to complete the set, as Swoop looks to be a retail figure... and that's only if Hasbro Australia ended up getting any cases of wave 3 in the country (if there is not enough demand for replenishments from the retail stores, that size class won't be brought in). And if wave 4's Snarl doesn't get picked up by the "fan channels" (JB, EB, Amazon, etc), I doubt it will show up at retail as well.

$8 Micro Machine mini-sets at Toymate... I might have to go and get some more, as BigW was very pricey at $22 each.

[SharkyMcShark]

Yeah I think local collectors are well ahead of JB. I've not seen a Tarn on the shelves at any of the four JB's I go between.
